Recently, I've been using Startpage as my default search engine. I've known about the service for a while, but never really paid it any attention until now. Anyhow, I like it a lot and it reminds of how Google Search used to work, before all the AI stuff. The privacy features are a bonus.

Reading about the Dropbox AI shenanigans makes me wonder about my files in Microsoft's OneDrive, especially given their recent AI fervour. I use the Insync Linux client on Debian to sync files with my OneDrive account and it works really well, but maybe it is time to consider some alternatives.
Playing with the Codeium VS Code extension. The AI code suggestions seem pretty good, but it's not overly quick and I'm not sure how useful I'd find it for real world use. I've uninstalled it for now, but may take another look at some point in the future.
Asking AI to draw a man with a big beard thumping his fists on his desk and yelling "SYSTEMD" in the style of a 2000ad comic, on behalf of a friend.
I have a Mailchimp integration to do today. The Mailchimp API docs are pretty good, so it shouldn't take too long.
